I haven't exactly kept up with this thread...

Over the last year and a bit I've moved the Amazon to a big shed nearby, giving me plenty of room to work on it. All the welding was simpler then (bought a nice new inverter welder too), and I had the scuttle and sills painted to match the rest of the body.

It's now reassembled and ready (I hope!) for MOT on Monday. On Friday my intention is to drive it 200 miles to a friend's wedding in Matlock.

No pressure then!

This is how it sits now, it's not perfect but I'm chuffed. Can't wait to get using it!

Great to see you've got her roadworthy again! Looks like you've been doing a proper job of it as well.
